Death of a Notable Elephant.

BJou, the great pet elephant whc
has been ON exhibition Tin the
Worlds Museum on Washington
Street. Boston, for two years, and
previously was a resident of tho
Central Park menagerie in New
York, is dead. This animal Is the
oldest and had been in captivity
longer than anyssclephant ever on
exhibition. Bijou has been in this
country for sixty years, and while
he is known to be seventy-fve years
old, the probabilities are that he
was born nearly hundred years
ago. Recently he had suffered
greatly from old age, and his efforts
to stand up and receive cakes and
candies from visitors at the museum,
as he used to, were painful IN the

weight of his huge body, and his at

would try TO raise himself on his
kneet, and then reaching his trunk
toward his keeper, the huge beast
would settle back and moan.
The old elephant has also lost his
appetite and was growing thin. He
found it hard to sleep, and lay
awake at nights grooming and IN
such evident pain that it was decid
I'd to kill him. A box of choco-

museum closed on the night of June

beast twined his trunk affectiOnately

SECOND INsTALLMENT OF a petty
squabble between two teachers appears
in this issue. Having admitted the first
communication, this could not well be put
in the waste-basket, though the puerile
threats OF the writer, if his communica-
ton did not appear, made such DISPOSE
ton of it highly probable for time.
And now word Of advice to both
young men: Let newspaper controversy
alone until you have more Thoroughly
mastered the art of composition, and
more fully understand the force of words.
Both need advice on this head and it
should be so pointedly severe as to make
certain it will be needed. In the case of
both, ambition has outstripped Judgment
and the power of performance. Quiet,
modest work will insure all the growth
desirable and is most earnestly recon-
mended. That Judgment is exceedingly
poor which counsels giving publicity to
squabbles In which the public has no in
terest. No newspaper wants to publish
articles of that nature and no one cares
to read them, unless the reputation of
the parties gives edge to curiosity.

The Pilot we find an article signed r. E.. |
st. Nazians. But the writer is unable to
make ont the busy party. Yet we know
that such croaking was the result of
delirious spasm of that writer, for any
person with ordinary balance would seek
a subject of higher ideal than to attack
personal reputation and to try establish
As far as personal decrying is concern
ed You stand unanswered, for the writer
is not going to make display of personal
qualities and r. E. in this point fully IL
Illustrates the good old saying that stools
rush in where angels fear to tread" But
when you say that there was falsity in
the statements made about your meet
ings by the Louis Corners reporter, and
that they we're published maliciously, you
are only lying" and you richly deserve
to be punished. Now, we organized last
year at Rockville, and by considering all
conditions, it was decided that Louis
Corners was better place and we held
two very successful meetings last year
and hope for several the coming season.
Our meetings do not concern the whole
county and r. E. would do himself much
credit If he would not NEEDLE in business
which does not concern him, and thus re-
lieve him of much mockery which attends
meddling parties. And furthermore, we
want one and all to understand that we
| have power to call meeting whenever
we please and no one with any common
sense will deny it. And If there was go

wig, why didn't they make it known and

there is reason for his opinion, for when
a mind is too shallow to weigh the good
| features of an argument, often it deems
ridiculous what might prove weighty
when so much maturity of mind is reach
ed that we can comprehend ground facts
and right decisions.
Our meeting of the Goth inst. was at
tended by three of the members of the
meeting held in Dist. No. 3, and each one
of them readily admitted that Louis
Corners was what the reporter claimed

to the time when our funds will be srffi-
Gent whenever necessary to hire CON-
petent critic and thus relieve you of this
meddlesome task.

THE suppression of the anarchists is
triumph of law and order; and still there
are men who respect law and love order
who would gladly see the anarchists
pardoned The anarchists, method OF
revolutionizing society is clearly indicat-
ed by the name they adopted. How does
it come, then, that people known to be
peaceably inclined and knowing the value
of stable government, should so far ap-
prove OF anarchist methods as to con-
denim the punishment visited upon them
because of their crimes?
1t is because there is grain of reason
in the theory of the anarchists. Labor is
oppressed by capital and the people be-
gin to feel the power of monopoly. Cap
ital bands together. not to protect itself,
as that is unnecessary, but to practice
imposition upon the people. Prices must
be kept up and combinations are formed
SO that competition may not interfere
with the robbery planned. But things
are cheaper now than they were ten years
ago." yells the optimist who thinks every
bit of improvement comes as conces-
sion from those having power. Ii pair
of boots which sold for ten dollars ten
years ago, now sell for eight, but should
sell for six because of improved methods
of manufacture, the person who pays
eight dollars for the boots is wronged,
and he is a chicken-hearted fellow if he
is willing to submit to the extortion be-
cause he can purchase things now for
less than he could ten years ago. The
price of everything should beleft to the
law Of supply and demand which will
regulate profits so that they will be
| neither extravagant or ruinous.
Granted that the laborer who does not
prosper, in many instances owes his
| poverty to improvident and Incorporate
habits, still with the utmost care and the
| greatest industry the laborer never saves
so much that he can feel Independent.
| The rule is that manufacturers become
wealthy and this through extraordinary
| profits secured through combinations
whereby prices are far in advance of what
are required for legitimate profits.
Should the trusts" continue feature
! in the business transactions Of this coun-
try the executed Chicago anarchists, who
are now regarded as criminals, may be
elevated to the dignity of martyrs be-
| cause of the ignoring of the grain of truth
in their otherwise crazy doctrines. The
| anarchist trouble has been met and con-
quered; the monopolists should now re-
ceive attention and their case should be
prosecuted with the same stern unyield-
ing demands for justice which character
lied the treatment of anarchy.

THE L. S. supreme court has decided
that prohibition laws are constitutional
and that no compensation is due to liquor
dealers for the practical contiscation of
their property in those states in which
prohibition prevails. The decision may
be in accordance with law but certainly
is not agreeable to justice. There are
millions of dollars invested in breweries
and distilleries. They are taxed and
sharing in the expenses Of the govern
ment should have its protection. The
law does not say there shall be neither
breweries or distilleries. 1t recognizes
them as private property and promises
them the protection extended to all other
form of property. Where then is the
justice in taking this property from the
individual without compensation? The
brewer has had no intimation that he as
sumes a risk from governmental interfer-
ence with his business. His business is
a legal one and his money is invested
with full faith that the protection guar
anteed him will be continued. Then
comes law which denies him the privil-
eye of doing what he was invited by law
to do and confscating property which the
law permitted him to purchase or create.
It is rank injustice.
Admitting for the sake of argument,
that prohibition is for the general good.
Then the confscation of breweries is
taking private property for public good
without compensation, something which
the constitution prohibits. This deci-
sion of the supreme court will weaken,
rather than strengthen the prohibition
party. There are many persons vino are
prohibitionists who can not approve Of
copfscation.
